FABULOUS 



SPRING FESTIVAL (Hall, '58) Each $6.00 



This is shown on page 49 in as nearly exact reproduction as 

 our engravers have ever turned out. It is not a deep shade of 

 pink but is rather a definite appleblossom tint with heavy 

 geranium-red beards. The flowers are very large, faultlessly 

 formed and slightly ruffled. Stems are tall with the blooms 

 widely spaced. It has both character and color of its own 

 which set it apart from such distinguished varieties as May 

 Hall, Lynn Hall and Pink Chimes. Plant growth is robust 

 and it increases rapidlv. Height 36 to 40 inches. HM AIS, 1958.

 stems. Although of great size it appears graceful and attractive 

 because of the waved or ruffled extra wide falls. The stalks 

 will reach 38-40 inches and the branching is ideal. Here will 

 be a candidate for first prize in the "largest bloom" class, and 

 a very beautiful one. too. This is an extraordinary Iris in a 

 somewhat staid color group. Pictured on page 51. HM AIS, 

 1961. 



STOP (Craig, '57) Each $2.50

Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50

 qualities. The beard is deep bronze. HM AIS, 1954. One of the 

 "five Iris of the Year" for 1959.

Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50

 red, but with so much of the gold influence in it 

 that it is not really a red Iris. You have seen the sun 

 look much like this just before it sinks over the hori- 

 zon. Both standards and falls are extra large and the 

 haft and beard are bright golden yellow. A most im- 

 pressive flower, blooming very early on widely 

 branched stalks reaching 42 inches. Winner of the
